Question

How is Optimal Capitol Structure used to  minimize the cost of capitol?

Answer 1

ANSWER -

An optimal capital structure is the best debt-to-equity ratio for a firm that maximizes its value. The optimal capital structure for a company is one that offers a balance between the ideal debt-to-equity range and minimizes the firm's cost of capital. In theory, debt financing generally offers the lowest cost of capital due to its tax deductibility; however, it is rarely the optimal structure since a company's risk generally increases as debt increases.
